Eddie Jordan joins Top Gear Festival Line-up

The Barbados Tourism Authority and Top Gear Festival have announced that legendary Formula One team-owner and commentator Eddie Jordan is set to join the star-studded line-up at the inaugural Top Gear Festival Barbados, from 17-18 May.

Jordan rejoins the Festival as a host, after making an appearance at Top Gear Festival South Africa in 2011. He said: "It's great to be going back to the Top Gear Festival. Since I last joined the team in 2011, the Top Gear Festival has grown bigger and better, and it's fantastic to be a part of their first event in the Americas. I'm looking forward to seeing what Jeremy, James and Richard have in store for me - but also for Lewis Hamilton."

Top Gear Festival Barbados is expected to draw tens of thousands of petrol-heads for a thrilling weekend of high-octane motoring action with Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. The jam-packed schedule of motoring antics will see The Stig and the Top Gear Live Stunt Driving Team take to the track in a series of breathtaking stunts, races and challenges in some of the world's most beautiful and rare machines.
